ABOUT GUARDIAN

Guardian is a 501(c)3 nonprofit martial arts gym in downtown Oakland, California. We offer classes in boxing, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and kick boxing. Guardian is currently FREE for kids ages 10 – 18, and offers affordable, sliding-scale memberships for adults, which automatically support the youth program. Our space was founded on the belief that almost everyone wants to be a part of a tribe, and we work daily to serve as a vital space for our community. Guardian currently has over 320 adult members, and 160 youth students taking advantage of the opportunity to train in these life changing martial arts.
